About This Stone
The trillion cut gives this tourmaline three symmetrical faceted faces that distribute light evenly across the stone. At 8.5 × 5 mm, it is a practical size for a center stone in a ring or pendant. The baby pink color is consistent throughout the stone with no visible zoning under normal lighting. VVS clarity means inclusions are very difficult to detect even under 10× magnification, and the stone is fully eye-clean.
Afghanistan is a recognized source for pink tourmaline, and this stone has not been subjected to heat, irradiation, or any other treatment. What you see in the photos is the natural color of the stone.
Suitable For
- Custom ring and pendant settings (rose gold, white gold, platinum)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pink tourmaline the same as rubellite?
Rubellite is a specific trade name for pink-to-red tourmaline with strong, saturated color. Baby pink tourmaline falls within the broader pink tourmaline category; it is the same mineral species (elbaite) but with a lighter, less saturated hue than what is typically classified as rubellite.
Does pink tourmaline from Afghanistan hold its color over time?
Yes. Natural pink tourmaline is color-stable under normal wear and light exposure. Unlike some treated stones, an untreated tourmaline does not fade, shift, or require special storage conditions to maintain its color.
What is a good setting metal for a baby pink tourmaline?
Rose gold is the most common pairing because its warm tone complements the soft pink hue. White gold and platinum are also widely used and allow the stone's color to read more neutrally. Yellow gold tends to add warmth that can slightly alter the perceived pink tone.
